By United Press International Twice • beaten Logansport yanked third-ranked Marion from the perfect ranks Wednesday night, 13-0, in one of the biggest upsets of the Indiana high school football campaign but three other lofty teams emerged as winners. Logan, outweighed an average of 40 pounds per player, scored its stunning North Central Conference upset by intercepting six passes and recovering a fumble that set up its second touchdown, a two-yard plunge by Jim Hassett. Ron Collins scored the Ber-

ries' first marker on a 57-yard punt return. Mario had previously clinched the NCC pennant, but the loss clipped the Giants’ winning streak at seven. The three ranking Indianapolis elevens, all unbeaten, led the elite to victory. Fourth - rated Washington spanked city foe Northwest, 34-6, as Louis Day with four touchdowns and four conversions ran his season total to 153 points, tops in the state. No. 6 Chatard toyed with suburban Beech Grove, 42-0, quarterback John Gruesser firing

three touchdown passes to ena Dick Proffitt, and No. 8 Cathedral edged Broad Ripple in another all-city scrap, 13-6. Terre Haute Gerstmeyer moved a step closer to another Western Conference crown, blanking city foe Garfield, 26-0. Willie White set a Gary scoring record for a single game, getting 42 points in West’s 70-6 breeze over River Forest. White scored seven touchdown as his 42 points broke the old mark of 40 held jointly by Dick Sturtridge of Emerson in 1922 and Levi Mitchell of Froebel last season.

Turbines to make last three USAC races

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The turbine-powered race cars are on their way out, but race fans still have a chance to watch them compete three more times this year. Andy Granatelli announced Wednesday the turbocar he sold to Parnelli Jones would compete Pacers lose 2nd ABA tilt INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)— Kentucky’s Colonels handed winless Indiana its second American Basketball Association defeat of the young season Wednesday night, 112-108, Darel Carrier and Louie Dampier leading the way with 56 points between them. The Colonels outscored the Pacers in the final two periods to even their record at 1-1. The two teams face each other again at Louisville Saturday night. Bob Netolicky led the Pacers with 24 points and Freddie Lewis tossed in 21 while Mel Daniels had 19 and 26 rebounds. I.U. at full force BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPI) — Indiana football coach Johnny Pont sent his Hoosiers through an extensive workout Wednesday in preparation for the Arizona clash while five starters remained on the sidelines with injuries. However, all five, including star halfback John Isenbarger, were expected to be ready for Saturday’s intersectional game. The others were defensive tackles Bill Wolfe and Jerry Grecco, guard Bill Wood and center Steve Applegate. Pont indicated he would stick pretty much with the same lineup as that against Michigan because films of Tuesday’s scrimmage showed nothing to warrant personnel changes.

Joe Leonard, who drove the turbine in the 1968 Indianapolis “500” race, will be behind the wheel in the final three races. Granatelli said two other turbines, which were wrecked, will be ready for Hanford Nov. 3 and Art Pollard would drive one of them. Rule’s changes after this year’s Memorial Day classic placed additional restrictions on turbines and Granatelli announced the turbocars would not run again after the current season. Jones, who drove the original turbine in the 1967 Indianapolis race, will also exhibit his car Oct. 27 on the Riverside Raceway road course before the start of the Los Angeles Times Grand Prix, Granatelli said.

Yanks may wrap up Olympics By JOHN G. GRIFFIN UPI Executive Sports Editor MEXICO CITY (UPI)— The United States may be wrapping up the 1968 Olympic Games championship down at the ol’ swimming’ hole. With only three full days of competition remaining in these games, the Yanks have rolled up 35 gold medals and an overall total of 81 medals—a commanding lead over defending champion Russia, which has 15 gold and 49 overall and keeps running into one disappointment after another. And if that Yankee lead is too big for the Soviets to overcome — as now seems possible, you can write it down that the United States won the unofficial team title with an utterly fantastic exhibition in swimming. Including three upsets triumphs Wednesday by Sharon Wichman, Kaye Hall, and Mike Burton, plus an expected victory by Charles Hickcox, U.S. swimmers have won the gold medal in 16 out of 21 events, one more than Russia’s entire total. There are 11 swimming events left which are certain to swell the U.S. total. Four Finals Today With four of those swimming finals slated Thursday, it is virtually certain that sometime on this day the United States will equal or surpass its 1964 Olympic Games haul of 36 gold medals and maybe even its 1964 overall total of 90 medals. The Soviets, on the other hand, are a long way from approaching their ’64 totals of 30 gold medals and 96 overall. The unofficial team crown which the Soviets have worn since 1956 could be slipping off rapidly. Finals in swimmine tndav arp the women’s 800-meter freestyle, men’s and women’s 200meter butterfly and the men’s 200-meter freestyle. There also are gold medals at stake in team foil fencing, gymnastics and shooting. All three victories in swimming Wednesday were surprises — now the Yanks are winning even when they’re not supposed to. Miss Wichman of Fort Wayne, Ind., turned the tables on two girls who had beaten her in the 100 meters, to take the women’s 200-meter breaststroke in an Olympic record 2:44.4. Miss Hall of Tacoma, Wash., upset Canada’s Elaine Tanner to win the women’s 100-meter backstroke in a world record 1:06.2. And Burton, of Carmichael, Calif., beat another Canadian star, world record holder Ralph Hutton, to take the men’s 400-meter freestyle in 4:09.4. Wins Second Gold Hickcox, of Phoenix, Ariz., won his second gold medal of the games by taking the men’s 400-meter individual medley in a close battle with teammate Gary Hall of Garden Grove, Calif. West Germany’s Michael Holthaus just touched out Greg Buckingham of Atherton, Calif., to prevent a U.S. sweep. Wednesday marked the first time the United States won a gold medal in these games in something other than track or swimming— and to do it right, it won two. Bill Steinkraus of Noroton, Conn., who had failed to win even a bronze medal in four previous Olympics, was rewarded for his patience with a gold medal in Grand Prix individual jumping—the first gold medal ever won by the United States in a jumping event. The 43-year-old veteran rider, riding a horse named Snowbound who once failed to make the grade as a racehorse, finished ahead of Marion Coakes of Great Britain. And Gary Anderson of Axtell, Neb., an Army lieutenant, took the gold medal in free rifle shooting—breaking both his own world and Olympic records as he totaled 1,157 to erase his old mark of 1,156 and 1,153. Anderson merely holds seven world championships, five world records and 10 American championships. Basketball Finals Set The Americans also are assured of a medal in basket, ball, when they meet Yugoslavia in the finals Friday night, and of seven medals in boxing because that many fighters have reached the semifinals. The seven are heavyweight George Foreman of Houston, middleweight A1 Jones of Detroit, light middleweight John Baldwin, also of Detroit, light welterweight James Wallington of Philadelphia, lightweight Ronnie Harris of Canton, Ohio, featherweight Albert Robinson of Oakland, Calif., and light flyweight Harland Marbley of Washington, D.C. *

Greencastle's Rick Harlan closes in on Brazil's fullback Steve Smith. Big Ten Football

CHICAGO (UPI) — It will be Minnesota power against Michigan speed Saturday and both the Wolverines and Gophers are plotting defensive maneuvers aimed at reining their rivals. “Our preparation is entirely different this week from last week. Minnesota tries to overpower you while Indiana relies on speed,” coach Bump Elliott of Michigan said Wednesday. Meanwhile, at Minneapolis, coach Murray Warmath was attempting to devise a defense against Michigan scatback George Hoey, whose kick returns gave the Wolverines a 15- 0 halftime lead in last year’s Little Brown Jug clash, finally won by Minnesota, 20-15. Michigan is a 21-14 favorite in the game at Ann (Arbor. While Michigan and Minnesota are meeting in a duel which could drop one or both from a first place tie in the Big Ten, Ohio State is expected to have an easy time of it, taking on winless Illinois. To complicate coach Jim Valek’s job of getting ready for the second-ranked and unbeaten Buckeyes, Illinois guard Doug Redmann, probably the best Illini lineman, was carried off the practice field Wednesday with a knee injury.

fullback Rich Johnson returned to the Illinois lineup, recovered from a shoulder injury. Coach Jack Mollenkopf announced that Purdue is completely healthy again, t w o weeks after the drubbing at the hands of Ohio State. And that could be bad news for Iowa’s Hawkey es, who meet Leroy Keyes and company Saturday. Keyes, still nursing a sore knee, ran at almost full speed Wednesday, something he was unable to do in last week’s narrow victory over Wake Forest. At Bloomington, Ind., the news was even grimmer. Five starters, including halfback John Isenbarger, were on the sidelines Wednesday. But Indiana coach Johnny Pont said he still hopes all five will be ready for the nonconference meeting with Arizona. Michigan State, a victim of Minnesota and Michigan so far this season, had a date with fifth-ranked Notre Dame and coach Duffy Daugherty said the Irish have “probably as fine personnel as I’ve seen on any college team.” The Spartans rehearsed their passing and wide running Wednesday. The contestants for king of the cellar, Wisconsin and Northwestern, both worked on defense Wednesday for their Saturday meeting. The Badgers’ Coach John Coatta said a defensive scrimmage “was not a particularly good one.” Alex Agase added a fourth man to Northwestern’s three-man secondary to defend against the pass patterns of Wisconsin’s Mel Reddick. Near miss Boston (UPI) — American League teams narrowly missed breaking their all-time attendance record in their final season as a 10-team organization according to official gate receipts reports. The league, which will add new franchises in Kansas City and Seattle for the 1969 season in an expansion to a 12-team circuit, drew 11,317,258 las season with the pennant-winning Detroit Tigers leading the way.

Red Devils whip Tiger Cubs 37 -0

by MARK STEELE It was the same sad song for coach Jim McCammon and his Greencastle Tiger Cub team last night as Brazil’s stymied first half offense unreeled 31-points in the second half and coasted to a 37-0 win over the 2-6 Cubs. For the Cubs it was their third straight shutout in Western Indiana Conference competition and fourth defeat in five starts. Greencastle’s defensive squad stopped the Red Devils twice from inside the 15-yard line in the first half, but the Cub offense had difficulty in moving the ball. A three-yard run was all the scoring Brazil managed the first half as they rushed for 102 yards and passed for 78 included in eleven first down. Four completed passes by Junior quarterback Rick Bundy and sophomore signal caller Scott Loring to senior end Darryl Pierce netted 63 yards in the initial half for Greencastle. However, it was a different story in the second half when a Bundy to Tony Harmless toss went for a minus four yards. Olympic cash offer not closed MEXICO CITY (UPI)— Although a U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) spokesman said the investigation of whether U.S. athletes took cash subsidies isn’t “closed,” the whole matter appeared today to be just exactly that. “The matter isn’t closed,” insisted the spokesman, “but we’ve gone as far as we can unless someone can provide concrete evidence.” The Olympic Village here has been buzzing with gossip for several days about whether any track and field athletes have received cash from certain European track and field equipment manufacturers for using their merchandise. And the whole affair seemed to take on substance when an unidentified U.S. runner reported to team officials that he had found $500 in one of his track shoes. But a three-pronged investigation by the USOC, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF), the ruling body of world track, appeared now to have run into a dead end. In a statement Wednesday night, acting director Everett Barnes of the USOC said his group had found “nothing to substantiate” the reports that U.S. Olympic stars had accepted cash subsidies. "If anyone has any concrete evidence to offer about United States athletes in this connection, we shall be pleased to follow up the information,” Barnes said.

Brazil’s 58 yards passing in the second half came on two of three passes, two aerials good for touchdowns. Junior end Mike Wilson scored on a 22- yard pass from quarterback Tony Butwin in the third period and backup quarterback Marvin Snow closed the contest with a 20-yard bomb to sophomore end Ralph Thompson as time ran out. The Tiger Cubs made their best scoring effort starting from their own 3-yard line in the first quarter. Greencastle took over after stopping Brazil on the Cubs three by recovering a fumble, then marched down field on a series of passes and runs up the middle to Brazil’s 22 yard line. Cub halfback Dan Murphy squirted 17-yards through the center of the Red Devil line on the first play from the three. A Loring to Pierce pass netted 13 more yards and a third down 11 situation was aided by a pass interference penalty made good to the Greencastle 47. Another Bundy to Pierce pass moved the ball to the Devil’s 24 and fullback Pat Luzar carried for twomore before Brazil tightened the middle. From the second half opening kick-off it was just a matter of time before Brazil wore down the Cubs defensive squad. Sophomore fullback Mike Patrick, a 184 pound bull, charged for two touchdowns of 38 and 16 yards in the third and fourth quarters respectively. The win gives Brazil a 3-1-1 WIC mark and a 5-2-1 overall slate. Greencastle is 1-4 in loop action with Clinton at home November 1 (Homecoming) and Honey Creek there November 8, both conference tilts. In other conference games, front running Gerstmeyer ran over Garfield 26-0 and surging West Vigo made it four in-a-row by handing Honey Creek a 20-13 setback. Gerstmeyer is now 6-0, West Vigo is 4-4. Garfield dropped to 3-4 while Honey Creek sunk to

1-5.
